CAlling Vipair...or Steve Prescott
Another out of the country customer getting screwed. I hate that you didn't see all the issues with this vendor before placing your order and paying, but even people in the USA can't get parts they paid for. Unfortunately, you're probably completely screwed, but I wish you the best of luck.- TowDawg

Has anyone else ordered the BC coilovers from Will at RSI in the past 6 months?
I'm pretty sure I need to replace one of my factory shocks anyway and would prefer to get a set of these that is set-up for the Viper (correct spring rates, valving, etc), but considering the issues with RSI (and that he hasn't even responded), it looks like I may just have to order them from...- TowDawg

Coupe or Vert - Any track restrictions?
No cats and getting rid of the crossover makes a huge difference. Another major difference maker in a vert (or a coupe with the windows down) is getting a 2008+ hood. The vents in the 2003-2006 hoods end up blowing the heat from under the hood back at the windshield. That heat then wraps...- TowDawg

So Lee was responsible in 2012 for the filing due 3/31/13, which makes a lot of sense considering he was worthless. If Dan was responsible since 4/1/13 for the filing due 3/31/14, that's still over a year ago. I realize a lot has happened since then and I'm not trying to cast stones at Dan...- TowDawg

I did not realize this when I made my post above, but just read it elsewhere. I didn't realize than Dan was the treasurer in 2013. If that was the case, then the complete disarray of the books hits pretty close to a current leader. Is the info about Dan's 2013 position correct? I was just...- TowDawg

So without placing blame on the majority of the past officers and the current people in office (we all know it was a few key people who are supposedly completely gone), what you're saying is that the things the "rabble rousers" were complaining about were true. I commend you on working to sort...- TowDawg

Coupe or Vert - Any track restrictions?
Just about every track day organization I know requires real rollover protection in a vert, and the Viper's fake hoops don't cut it. Even if you were allowed without a roll bar, I wouldn't want to. I put an Autoform roll bar in my Gen III for track days. You mentioned "racing", but I'm...- TowDawg

VOI 13 COTA - Track plans
I'm not saying the layout isn't better than what I've heard of previous VOI's. Just that a 20 min session is way to short to really "get in a groove" on a new track once you take out the warm-up and cool-down laps. Plus, the Viper (mine anyway) isn't for w2w racing. It does get trailered to...- TowDawg

VOI 13 COTA - Track plans
Actually I've got hundreds of track days and years of w2w racing. Depending on the group I did regular track days with, sessions were from 30 mins to 1 hour each. Chin was usually 50, 45, 45, 45, 60 per day. Depending on the size of the track and tires you're running (I'll use Road Atlanta as...- TowDawg

VOI 13 COTA - Track plans
I'm assuming that's 3 sessions of 45-55 minutes each, and not 3 sessions for a total of 45-55 minutes for the whole day? Just reads a little confusing.- TowDawg

SRT leaves Le Mans to "focus" on North American racing program
Won't comment on everything, but the cost to race the Viper will not go down by using the hellcat engine. For one, the engine in the race car is only a small portion of the cost of the car, plus they would have to develop a whole new race engine. Superchargers and road racing (especially long...- TowDawg

Accufab 70mm Throttle Bodies...to buy or not to buy.
I know a lot of the aftermarket offerings for the Gen III seem to have throttle hang issues. Not sure on the Gen II.- TowDawg

Noticed VPA prices have gone up?
VCA discounts have essentially gone away or gotten considerably smaller as well. I would assume it has something to do with the $50k repayment to the VCA shown on the 2014 VCA budget. Gotta bring in some more money now to pay back the loan, that then suddenly wasn't a loan, but is a loan again now.- TowDawg

M&M header vs Billy boat headers
I've had the M&M's on my car for a few years now and love them. I have to say the main thing that sold me on them was Matt himself. I was having the engine rebuilt under warranty and when the engine came back Arrow, the shop noticed the stock manifolds were cracked (VERY common, at least on...- TowDawg

Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs
The BC coilovers worry me because they say they fit '96-'08 Vipers, which doesn't make any sense.- TowDawg
